Re: Pole: spacing after a sentence
It is two spaces when seperating sentences in any type of written work. There is only one space if using a comma in a sentence.Comment

Re: Pole: spacing after a sentence
It used to be two with typewriters and characters taking up the same width. But, today, with proportionately spaced characters, the usage is no longer necessary.
It's one space."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: Pole: spacing after a sentence
Two spaces is an outdated practice. Though, every now and then it is a good tool to lengthen a paper if you don't have much to say.Comment

Re: Pole: spacing after a sentence
From the MLA handbook (which pretty much every college kid has heard of and most professors and teachers across the country recognize and use - except for those that use APA or something along those lines):
"Publications in the United States today usually have the same spacing after a punctuation mark as between words on the same line. Since word processors make available the same fonts used by typesetters for printed works, many writers, influenced by the look of typeset publications, now leave only one space after a concluding punctuation mark. In addition, most publishers' guidelines for preparing a manuscript on disk ask authors to type only the spaces that are to appear in print.
Because it is increasingly common for papers and manuscripts to be prepared with a single space after all punctuation marks, this spacing is shown in the examples in the MLA Handbook and the MLA Style Manual. As a practical matter, however, there is nothing wrong with using two spaces after concluding punctuation marks unless an instructor or editor requests that you do otherwise."Comment
